As climate change increasingly impacts Africa, the need for climate change capacity development has never been greater. While various governments and funding agencies are supporting climate change capacity development across Africa, most initiatives operate in isolation.
In the EOS2.6 session, we aim to give the capacity building initiatives a stage to present themselves and would like to follow up with a discussion platform during this splinter meeting, to provide the basis for future collaboration in the form of a network.
We invite all EOS2.6 session participants and other interested climate scientists from both continents to attend this splinter meeting.
